2007 BAFTA Scotland Awards
2007 BAFTA Scotland (aka Scottish Bafta) award winners: City Halls in Glasgow on November 18, 2007
("*" denotes the winner in each category)
The Last King of Scotland, an early 2007 release in the United Kingdom, was the big winner at the 2007 BAFTA Scotland awards. Directed by Kevin Macdonald and written by Peter Morgan and Jeremy Brock, the fictional drama revolves around the complex relationship between a Scottish doctor (BAFTA winner James McAvoy) and Uganda dictator Idi Amin Dada (Forest Whitaker). The American Whitaker — despite having received raves and assorted awards elsewhere earlier in the year (as a 2006 release in the U.S.) — was deemed ineligible for the Scottish BAFTAs, as the awards are geared to promote local talent.
